    Exo Mountain K4?

    Not affiliated with EXO but have owned K2-K4. My advice is to get the longer stays after if you feel they are too long then cut them down. I would say that when packing a lot of weight the longer stays are always beneficial, but you also need, at least for me, the pack on my back to be hunt-able...

    Rifle Assembly

    I consider myself a novice when it comes to rifles and hunting with a firearm. I do much more Bowhunting and have killed a lot more animals with a bow than firearm. But I am also an opportunist and am a few years over the half century mark. So, like it or not, it is getting harder for me to go...

    Where to buy Stone's Sheep skull?

    I forgot to mention. When I talked to Jenny she first said she would try to fit my horns to a real skull. Unfortunately finding a skull to match the original is tough as most are unique enough so they don’t work. Plus there are not a lot of good sheep skulls in supply. Sent from my iPad using...

    Where to buy Stone's Sheep skull?

    Give Jenny a call at Wy backcountry decor. They did my replica and made a skull for the original horns after a guide at base camp thought he would skull cap my ram long after I left Alaska. The outfitter wasn’t happy with the guide since he knew my intent of doing the euro. When the outfitter...

    Sheep Show 2024

    I am just happy these big pockets are on our side and not the anti-hunting, animal rights side. I am sure they have plenty though. I am glad I did my Dall hunt in 2020 because of the price increases and current challenges facing Dall numbers in Alaska. But the same can be said for the price of...

    WY general tag vs. NM

    You will likely not draw as a NR for either state, assuming you are applying for any decent hunt in NM and Wy general. If you apply with an outfitter for NM it will increase the tags available and possibly the odds in most units. You have to beat the odds and people get lucky every year. I apply...

    NM Landowner Cow Tags

    WTB 700 action wrench

    If you have some local Facebook or app pages for your state I recommend getting in there and asking. I borrowed one from a local guy and worked out great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Sheep steaks are awesome

    I am the OP and have only had meat from two wild rams. One was my brooks range 9 year old Dall and the other my 6 year old Nevada California bighorn. Although I can’t actually compare side by side, I would say they both were/are delicious and really can’t say one was better than the other. I...

    Oklahoma Preference (Bonus) Points

    I read about it and know people who were close to the situation. Glad he was removed. It was a special place to hunt and fish when I was there from 2006-2009. I was the XO of the Marine Detachment and was on the board for their wildlife committee. We started the youth hunts while I was on the...

    You have 5 WY preference points. Where are you applying?

    Your last bullet about GOHUNT. I use it all the time and think it is a great tool, but when draw odds for a unit with only a handful of tags and you have a system like Wy where they break up those tags for regular draw, special draw and random all it takes is one or two people really screwing up...

    You have 5 WY preference points. Where are you applying?

    It’s either a misprint for 3 issued or a party of 3 drew. My guess is it was a misprint which is why it lists 33 % draw for first choice apps. If you apply with a party of two knowing the regular quota is one in the regular pref pt draw then you really are not giving yourself much of a chance...

    Oklahoma Preference (Bonus) Points

    Not trying to disagree with you but this isn’t any different than premium tags in many western states where it turns into a OIL tag if you are lucky. I was fortunate to be stationed or attending school at Ft Sill and was lucky enough to enjoy the great hunting there to include killing an elk...

    You have 5 WY preference points. Where are you applying?

    Have you gone to their website and looked at the draw odds? It is pretty simple for the unit and type 9 tag you are asking about. You will want to look at preference point draw odds for both the regular and the special draw’s plus the random draw odds. The preference draw odds, both regular and...

    Exo Mountain K4?

    I would bet that Rokslide stat is likely for first time buyers and there are a lot more of us promoting the sales. This was my third EXO pack Purchase and I actually selected other when I purchase my K4 because I bought it to upgrade from my K3 pack Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Grakksaw Game Bags

    Maybe I am misunderstanding but I personally wouldn’t put the meat in a dry bag. IMO the meat needs to breathe and keep cool. I just put the game bags on the load shelf. You will get a little blood on the pack but it washes off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Grakksaw Game Bags

    I am no sheep expert but six years ago I bought a set of TAG BOMB bags and have used them on several elk. They are still in great shape. This year I used 3 of the 14x34 bags for my Cali bighorn. Two for meat and one for cape. Total weight of the 3 is probably 4-5 ounces Sent from my iPad...
